Fiscal revenue slipped 0.6 percent
According to Moneyweb on September 8, 2026, revenue from continuing operations fell 0.6 percent to ZAR 28.3 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, from ZAR 28.5 billion a year earlier. Operating profit declined 3 percent to ZAR 1.37 billion, while headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased 0.2 percent to 2,283 cents.
The comparison is mixed rather than one-sided. The order book stood at ZAR 37.6 billion at June 30, 2026, unchanged from the prior year, while net asset value rose to ZAR 6.3 billion from ZAR 5.6 billion, according to Moneyweb.
Dividend dates set for October

The announcement also stated that the dividend after 20 percent withholding tax would be 256 cents per share, with 68,996,092 shares in issue at the declaration date.
The dividend calendar creates the next dated checkpoint. Ex-dividend trading begins October 21, 2026, the record date is October 23, 2026, and payment is scheduled for October 26, 2026, according to Moneyweb. For investors, the unchanged dividend places the emphasis on cash distribution and the order book rather than on headline revenue growth.
